I have been called many times by numerous "research" or telemarketing services and have discovered if you answer the phone. . ."________________Police Department, what is your emergency". The calls stop immediately!!

April 21st, 2011diana TX

a man called saying it was a research call regarding radio stations in the area. i just said i listen to XM and they said thank you and hung up.

October 7th, 2010Red MO

I have NEVER applied for Discover and i get them every day several times a day ...and no I'm not picking up

September 23rd, 2010Wally Sweden

Not doing Discover right now. Doing cold calls for some phone related company trying to develop leads by having someone answer questions for a "survey". Forgot it. Maintain a personal "Do Not Call List" - it is called BLOCKING and it works great. No calls from BLOCKED number get through. Hey (800) 295-7193 call as often as you like as it will just keep ringing in your computer's ear with no answer - YOUR BLOCKED!

September 8th, 2010Amused OH

He's right, you guys checked the box yourselves that allowed Discover to make these calls to you. So, essentially, you apparently simple people told Discover, "Here's my phone number, go ahead and call me with things you're selling in the future!". Well, they're calling, and you morons forgot. Do you want to know the best way to get them to stop calling? PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE! They only need to here the words "not interested" and you're home free, never called again! You people are a joke. Instead of answering at least once to see what they want, you cry about the Do Not Call list that is apparently supposed to be a magical shield against any foreign phone calls. Jesus Christ people, use your brains!

September 6th, 2010SilentEcho OH

Wow, you people are really hostile. I make those calls for a living and if you people had any sense you would listen for a second instead of being ignorant and in security of your 'do not call' programs you needlessly applied to. Answering Machines ARE the reason you get called multiple times in a row. The more you dodge the call the more calls you will get. And the 'do not call' list DOESN'T APPLY TO THIS because you YOURSELF applied to discover for a credit card and checked the box allowing you to be called for promotions. The DO NOT CALL list doesn't apply to you unless you actually say the words 'do not call'. Get off your high horse and open your ears for once, it's a good product.

July 22nd, 2010DC AR

I called back, got a recording that it was a sales call or marketing research call.

This is a BS call and next time they call, I'm going to step outside and answer it. Two can play this game. I'm also on the DO NOT CALL list.

July 21st, 2010SARAH

THIS NUMBER HAS CALLED ME ABOUT 15 DAYS IN THREE DAYS. I DON'T ANSWER MY CELL PHONE AT WORK. HOWEVER, AFTER BEING COMPLETELY ANNOYED, I CALLED THE NUMBER BACK. IT IS A RECORDING:

"YOU HAVE BEEN CONTACTED FOR MARKETING RESEARCH OR A SALES CALL"

February 22nd, 2010yup

RDI Marketing Svc, Oxford, OH 45056 Telemarketing Services

January 7th, 2009Brf OR

multiple calls, MANY blank 5-8 second voicemails with voices & noise heard in the background. when I finally answered the phone one time when I was home the person on the other end started their spiel about something fully telemarketer style....so then I queried the caller on why they were calling someone listed on the do not call registry, within 2 seconds they hung up on me. this is not the "discover card" as this site is saying it most likely is 1-800-295-7193 is definitely a telemarketing company (RDI research on my caller ID) as of 1-7-2009. file a complaint with the DNC registry, I just did.

March 20th, 2008VERY ANNOYED IL

THIS NUMBER CALLS 7 DAYS A WEEK EARY IN THE MORNING TILL ABOUT 9PM AWE NEVER ANSWER ANYMORE AND YET IT IS VERY ANNOYING!

January 7th, 2008JoJo FL

It is funny, when they call I pick up and I hang up right away. They call right back, and I do the same. They wait a day or two and do it again.

October 6th, 2007rod MA

Calling once a day I have been at work not able to call back

September 22nd, 2007Douglas VA

The caller asked to speak with my wife. I asked who he was. "Patrick," he said. I asked who he was with, and he hung up.

September 13th, 2007wendy

calls in the early am and ALL DAY LONG with no message left.

September 11th, 2007Justin WA

You can be REMOVED from their call list by calling RDI Marketing Services (rdimarketing.com) directly at: 513.984.5927.
Their main number is: 800.388.7636

August 9th, 2007Jeff IL

Received several phone cals from this number, when I answered they hung up. I am on do not call registry.

August 8th, 2007Rachel CA

Number called-didn't leave any message

August 7th, 2007bob UT

have been called 2 and 3 times a day. getting tired of it

August 7th, 2007Susan FL

How do I get these people to stop calling?????
Very aggravating.

August 3rd, 2007young VA

called several times although we are on the national "do not call" registry. did not talk, just hung up, and number would not accept call back

August 1st, 2007W. CA

Yesterday after receiving yet another call from this number I called the FTC customer help line yesterday to complain about how often this number calls and that no one is ever on the other end. They took my complaint but I don't know if they will do anything about it.

Also, the other day I was searching online and found recordings of different phone company error messages. So I copied the message you get when a phone number has been disconnected. When this number called yesterday I picked up the phone and played a recorded version of the disconnect phone message and then hung up. So far they haven't called back.

August 1st, 2007HC NJ

I have been receiving this call periodically. I never picked up since it is unknown

July 30th, 2007s. MA

This number has been calling everyday for the past 3 months, even Sat and Sundays, sometimes more than once! I never answer and no message is left on the answering machine. How can this be stopped???

July 25th, 2007Shanna NY

I was very annoyed because I finally was home when they called and they asked for my husband. I told them he wasn't available but could I help them and they hung up on me before I got any of it out.

July 24th, 2007J.

I get calls just about everyday from this phone number. No message, just "dead air" and then a hangup when I have tried to tell whomever is calling to quit calling. This very annoying!!!

July 23rd, 2007Tired TX

I've received 23 calls this month. In TEXAS, it is against the law to harass folks via telephone. I have contacted my local county attorney and asked them to consider filing this criminal complaint against the company. I have recorded rude, obnoxious behavior, and hope to set a precedent here. Wish me luck.

Here is the section of the statute I am using: "Causes the telephone of another to ring repeatedly or makes repeated telephone communications anonymously or in a manner reasonably likely to harass, ANNOY, alarm, abuse, torment, embarrass, or offend another."

July 23rd, 2007Eli TX

Got a call from this #. Didn't answer "out of area"

July 23rd, 2007hans

July 18th, 2007D. Cook

July 18th, 2007Bob

July 17th, 2007claire TX

I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize, but it is awfully annoying when they call so much.

July 16th, 2007Dave AR

I've been called about 3 times a day for the last month by this number. The few times I answer, no one is there.

July 15th, 2007Carey CA

Obviously a phone solicitor. Told them to take my name off their list before they even got started... And my number is supposed to be on the National do not call list??????? Can't anyone do anything about them?

July 13th, 2007jay effgee

A constant pester. I do not answer and the phone stops ringing after three rings. I presume that's so that the answering machine won't pick up. A nuisance.

July 12th, 2007jana MO

I just star 67'd the number and a recording states I have been contacted for a marketing survey or sales call. Anytime I have tried to answer, there is noone on the other end so I hang up. I don't know how they stay in business if they don't speak to anyone

July 11th, 2007Jim MA

Received 8 calls from this number in the past 11 days, but I haven't picked it up. My outgoing voicemail message has the "error" ring tone as the first thing you hear, so hopefully this will knock my number off their list.

July 11th, 2007Keri VA

Very persistant- I don't answer it either, but they have called 4 times in 24 hours.

July 9th, 2007Shar

I have received several phone calls from this number but no message. Whoever it is has called at least 2 times a day for a few weeks.

July 7th, 2007glen AR

The number calls daily and no one is on the line it hangs up after 30 seconds.

July 3rd, 2007JP IA

I just started getting these calls this week. While I'm glad this web page is here and documenting so many people as disgusted as I am, I am even more frustrated to see that this has been going on for over a year. If the company is known (even keeping the same number) and being reported, why can't anyone do something about this?

July 2nd, 2007Jeff NJ

Unknown. No one there

July 1st, 2007r48880 MI

no one there..says toll free call on id..so far they've called twice in 30 mins.

June 25th, 2007TATA

out of area

June 24th, 2007Vada KY

Called and asked for head female of the household.

June 20th, 2007Vinnie B MA

You have been contacted for a marketing or research call... Is the message I received when I called their 800 number because I have been receiving 2 to 3 calls a day from them... Which I have been ignoring.

June 13th, 2007Okwes

They will not stop calling me. They now call right back right after I scream at them on the phone. This was almost 10 p.m.

June 12th, 2007okwes

they won't stop calling. i keep emailing them and telling them to stop.

June 10th, 2007Diana

Calls from this number everyday for the past week - sometimes twice a day. No one is there when I've answered. Filed a complaint with the Do Not Call Registry.

June 7th, 2007Melissa OK

How great is this Web site!
I have been getting calls from this number for about 2 weeks now. My husband has made the mistake of picking up a few times, but the person on the other end says nothing. I think this number is related to the other two calls I'm getting now: 801-270-5983 (Roger Neal) and 954-689-7681 (Arther Bailey).

June 6th, 2007k adams VA

called three times from 5pm to 9pm est. 6/5/2007 Leaves no messages. Comes up out-of-area.

I got a call from this number to my home phone while I was away. I tried to dial it and it says I was contacted for a research or sales call.

May 25th, 2007Max GA

I'm glad I googled this number. I thought I was the only one who had this problem. This number keeps calling between 6-10 times a day. judging from the earliest comment, 6/20/06 this has been going on for far to long. I think by mid-may 2007 someone needs be 1.) fined, 2.)in jail or 3.) disconnected. Preferably all of the above.

May 25th, 2007Paul

These people call day and night calling themselves Discover Card.If an answering machine picks up the call,they dont leave a message.Discover Card should contact these scammers and shut the operation down.

May 24th, 2007lou NV

Caller stated they were from a local radio station verifying information for a contest I had entered to win a Suburban. I confirmed my name when they first called because I was working and grabbed the phone without thinking.... But confirmed nothing else as I have entered no contests and it was a radio station I would not even be likely to listen to by accident.

May 22nd, 2007Emma Young WI

I have my number on no call list but I get about 3 calls per day. I tried answering once but they hung up. Last 2 weeks this has been going on.

May 22nd, 2007DARRELL TX

Calls several times a day and leaves no message.

May 21st, 2007Brian MD

My guess is that they are autodialing and tracking what *time* someone answers the phone to determine the best time to call for future solicitations. Theyve been calling 6-8 times a day for over a week now.

May 20th, 2007Teri TX

this number has called 18 times this month ??

May 18th, 2007Len OK

Called this number back and the recording said that I was being contacted either for a sales promotion or marketing research but then it cuts off as if switching and then goes dead. No name of the company is mentioned. How do these telemarketers get away with this. It is very annoying.

May 15th, 2007J Pierce

We are phoned several times a day--for several weeks now. They never leave a message, and there's no one there when we pick up.

May 15th, 2007David

These assholes are calling numbers listed for a long time now on the "do not call" list. If you call the number back you only get a message and then line hangs up, you never get to talk to anyone to tell them to never call again.

May 11th, 2007lynda MN

these creeps are annoying and persistent and obviously involved in some scam- they call anytime of the day and night- what a pain..

May 11th, 2007James Lamonds NC

This number along with several others (704)7951235 continue to call and every time I answer, they are looking for my wife. They sound from a foreign country. I finally got a response other than click from the last one and it was about a pre approved CC.

May 10th, 2007Joel RI

They said they were Discover. I previously read about this number on this site, so I told the caller they were lying! I contacted Discover and told them about this phone number and closed my account. Too bad for me and them. I couldn't risk a chance of identity thief. I told Discover to do the leg work and find out who this 800 number belongs too. I did my part. I'm only the little guy. Let Discover go after these morons. Also registered 800-295-7194 at donotcall.gov

May 9th, 2007Debbie IL

I have been getting several calls each day from this number. When I pick it up and say hello the caller hangs up. I went one step further and I filed a complaint on the DO NOT CALL Web Page....

May 8th, 2007Jeremy NJ

They called 4 times when I finally picked up, they asked for my wife. When I told them she was not home, they hung up

May 7th, 2007- NE

I'm confused. I keep getting harassed by this number - she told me they are selling identity theft protection for Discover Card, but I don't know. I called Discover and they said it was a marketing service and probably shouldn't give out information...and i WON'T..so, Stop harassing me on my cell phone!!!!!!

May 6th, 2007Terry WI

I received a blank call today (sunday), went to your service, and found Discovercard is one of apparently many companies used this telemarketing company. I called Discovercard, complained to them, and they said they "are working on this". I pointed out this creates a bad reputation for them, and FEWER people will buy their product if they continue to support companies like this who violate Federal and State laws.

The next time calls like this come thru, call the company who hires these firms, and complain to them.

May 4th, 2007Heather TX

I received a call from this number at 9:00 at night. I did not answer it and the phone kept on ringing and ringing and ringing. I am thisclose to reporting it the FBI because I am on a DNC list.

May 4th, 2007Don Arnold CA

They conveniently wait until dinnertime and call 4 times within a 30 minute period. There should be a do-not-call list...hey wait, there IS a do-not-call list - and I'm on it! So what happened?

May 2nd, 2007Scott CA

I picked up on the 3rd ring and said hello. No one answered, I said hello again. Still no response and I hung up

April 30th, 2007Bill IL

These jackasses call 2 or 3 times every friggin day.

April 29th, 2007Phyllis

People getting those 800 295 7193........
It's Discovercard and they are asking you to buy identity theft coverage. They only speak to men, when they speak at all. They hang up on women and answering machines. You can register a complaint against them.

April 28th, 2007Rob UT

I get called by this number every day between 1 an 2 pm and again between 9 pm and 11 pm and there is no one there. When I call back the number I only get "you have been contacted for market research or a sales call" this has gone on for three weeks now.

April 27th, 2007Donna MD

Each time a different person and we ask for them not to call again. They have called every day. How can we stop this annoyance?

April 26th, 2007Rodney FL

Calls me every night, no one there. I stopped answering the calls.
I'm located in South Florida. I just want to know how to stop them.

April 26th, 2007Pat

I have received many calls from these folks. I googled there number and I get: LLC at Credit Protection Plus, I also called the 800 number and I reach a companies voice mail. They are a company that sells insurance if you become ill-they called yesterday and tried to sighn us up for their services. I told them we were not interested. I think their auto-dialer is left on sometimes and therefore calls and no one on the other line to throw their sales pitch.

April 24th, 2007Elaine AZ

This number shows up on my caller ID at least 4 to 5 times a day. When I pick up the phone, I hear background noise. I say hello and no says anything back. I try to call the same number but all I get is an automated voice and then it hangs up.

April 24th, 2007Jack W. AZ

I file a Do Not Call complaint each time they call. I just completed 5 complaints covering yesterday and this morning. If they get thousands of complaints maybe they will get the message.

April 24th, 2007steph

Recieved call from them, i answered and guy on other line said he could get in the pad lock in less than 5 min. could this be a repo comp or someone trying to rob someone

April 23rd, 2007Anonymous AZ

Identified themselves as KMLE Camel Country. Refused to remove my number even after I stated that it was on the DO NOT CALL list. Called number back to get recording about a sales or marketing call and then disconnects

April 23rd, 2007Fred Weinberg NY

said they were a radio station, then they hung up.

April 21st, 2007Rob

8 Calls in a row - same story as everyone else. I need to block the idiot.

April 21st, 2007Orlando FL LA

Whoever it is has called daily for the last few days and just today, every five minutes for the last hour! I called back and got the "marketing research or sales call" message. I tried the posted suggestion of hitting the 6 or 7 key several times as soon as I answered the call...well it's been over 10 minutes and no more calls. I entered 666...maybe that freaked THEM out!

April 20th, 2007Dave NJ

No answe.. either someone has too much time on their hands or the computer needs turning off

April 19th, 2007Kristin

I'm getting the same thing as everybody else. They have called twice a day for the last 3 days. I tried to call it back to tell them we are on the national Do Not Call list and to leave us alone, but all I got was the "sales call or market research" message.

April 19th, 2007Sara

This number has called me for about a month, several times a day, just about everyday and no one speaks. It hangs up when either my answering machine or I pick up the call

April 17th, 2007Janine

Got a call from this number today at 12 noon. A female voice asked "Is Jared available?" I said: "You've got the wrong number". I could hear lots of voices in the back ground. I tried to call back to see who it was, and it just says "you've been contacted by a market research or sales call". My phone number and our cell phone numbers are on the "Do not call list".

they've called a few times when I'm not home...today I picked up...guy claimed he was from radio station 101.? and if I gave my name he'd enroll me in a contest for $1000. told him if he called me, he should know my name. he said he was reaching out to businesses in the neighborhood.
hey fella, go get real job and leave the rest of the world alone.

April 4th, 2007sophie NJ

this # has called several times when we weren't home..today I happen to be home on a weekday. They just told me they were calling from Radio Station 101.9 and wanted to touch base with local businesses. Asked for my name to be enrolled in a contest for $1,000. told them if they called me/my business, they should already know who I am, so knew they were not legit.

April 2nd, 2007OUTTHERE

called me saying they were 101.9 and asked if i wanted to win 1000.00 then hung up

April 2nd, 2007Phil r KS

March 22nd, 2007L.M.

Got one call from this number on 3-21-07 at 6:28 p.m. No one there. Maybe a computer. I read an article that if you get one of these calls, hit # 6 or 7 times right away and it might confuse the computer (?????) NC 27244

March 21st, 2007M

Continually calls and hangs up

March 19th, 2007Scared

Today the phone rang and it said tollfree number and then underneath it said 800-295-7193. I answered and a scary male voice asked for my mom by first name. I said "May I ask who is calling?" he said this is Mark. I said "She can't come to the phone right now, can I take a message?" He said "No. Just tell her Mark called." His voice is like something from a horror movie. No joke. he really scared and freaked me out. I'm only a kid. I agree with Bob and Sam! Let
s Do it!!!! Give them a taste of thier own medicine and swamp thier lines and make them pay a trillion gazillion buckaroos!!!! 1..2..3..WE CAN DO THIS!!!!
I refuse to be frightened out of my wits by a freak sitting at home trying to scare little kids. Join to fight and refuse this insanity! I'm crazy!!!!

March 14th, 2007Barbara CO

I've had several calls in one day from this number. I never answer, but it is annoying.

March 13th, 2007Marie FL

Talked to my husband... sounded like an uneducated person. Wanted to speak to me about my eye insurance. Gave an insurance name that we done have. As my husband was telling him not to call back, he hung up.

March 13th, 2007Don

These jerkoffs call my house all the time and I'm on the TN do not call list but I can't do anything because they call and hang up

March 13th, 2007Anthony TX

Answered this call, there was silence and then it hung up. This number calls my phone every 2 weeks. I think its some kind of automated thing.

March 13th, 2007J P Marshall

They must be located in an Eastern time zone because they have called twice before 8 am and woke me up. Since I work until 2 am.

I do NOT answer if my caller ID doesn't tell me who they are.

March 11th, 2007mikel OH

I reported this number to the do not call register. I do it every time they call me. Everybody needs to do this, go to www.ftc.gov

March 8th, 2007Caroline CA

have received several calls from this number, does not leave message

March 6th, 2007Jim

This number called twice @ 10pm. When I informed the "person" of the late hour, he said "how about we call you whenever we want" and then hung up on me. He said that the call was on behalf of Discover. I called them, they apologized and took me off of their list. However, they were not able to promise that this company wouldn't calla again.

March 6th, 2007John

Discover card sales pitch for credit insurance.

March 2nd, 2007BSmith TX

I get calls for the person that used to have my phone number all the time. An older lady asked for him, I told her that he know longer has this number and she apologized.

Don't know the call center she was with, but I could hear people in the background.

For once, they actually seemed nice.

go figure.

February 27th, 2007Nikki AK

I answered, they hung up.
i'm sure they'll be calling back....

February 27th, 2007Kelly

Eversince I switched from Verizon to Time Warner (Triple Play program), I get a lot of calls with "Unknown" ID. It might be that Time Warner's provider circulated my number or Verizon was pissed when I left them and decided to get back to me. I mean, I never had these many calls in a week from these low life phone number owners.

I don't pick-up if I don't recognize the number and I've a machine to take the message if I can't pick-up on a timely manner.

If these pathetics have nothing better else to do, they lose, not me!

February 26th, 2007Thai

Wow...a call from Fabio, knowing I liked video games and I could win an Island or some crap, I could barely understand through that bad accent. How does stuff like this benefit anyone????

February 25th, 2007Marissa MA

It was the model, Fabio, telling me that I could win an island. He identified me by name, and knew that I was a student. Creepy...

February 24th, 2007Cilla

This number calls my house 4 or 5 times a day, and no one ever says anything. Makes me wonder if they're just trying to see if I'm home.

February 23rd, 2007Jason MI

They called and I answered. It was fabio, Freaking hilarious. Some crap for a island resort. Ya they called at midnight WTF

February 23rd, 2007robert

February 22nd, 2007LJ TX

Called this number back and it was answered by a recording starting with, "you have been contacted for marketing research or a sales call....." I hung up.

February 22nd, 2007DEBBIE NC

THEY HAVE BEEN CALLING THE HOUSE FOR WEEKS. SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. MOST OF THE TIME IF I ANSWER IT THEY HANG UP OR NO ONE SPEAKS, BUT YOU CAN HEAR SOMEONE IS THERE. THERE HAVE BEEN WOMEN WHO CALL AND WANT TO DO A SURVEY. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH www.ftc.gov IT IS VERY ANNOYING!!!!!

The call we got from this company was picked up by the answering machine. The people on the other end were having a discussion about my wifes name. They made fun of her name and her parents. Her father is dead and her mother hasn;t talked to her for years, She's very upset and depressed.

February 20th, 2007Joe La Monica

The phone was not answered but picked up by the answering machine. The party was having a discussion about my wifes name. They made fun of her name and her parents. The bad thing is she heard the message and is very upset and depressed. They had no right to say the things they said. Her father is dead and her mother hasn't spoke to her in years.

February 19th, 2007Steve AZ

This comes up as Bello Services on my caller ID. Similar stuff with everyone else. Lots of calls, no answers, and if i let it ring through to the answering machine, and gave a busy signal.

February 19th, 2007Bev

The phone rang about 3 or 4 times, but stopped ringing before I could get to it.

I answered and waited a few seconds and someone came to the line. It was a survey about my shopping experience at David's Bridal

February 2nd, 2007Ken FL

If you call the number back a message says "You have been contacted for market research or sales call." There is no option to leave a message or talk to anyone.

February 1st, 2007Brian

I have only had this phone number for a month and already getting junk calls. The number is now blocked thanks to VOIP.

February 1st, 2007Tim FL

Filed a complaint with the do not call list.

Answered phone and only heard silence.

January 30th, 2007Dave CO

The call woke me up. I picked up, said "hello, this is Dave", and heard voices in the background. They wouldn't answer. I said hello again. No response. I hung up.

January 27th, 2007Anon MD

Second call this week. Second time informing them we are on the do not call list and requesting they put us on thier do not call list.
Says Free Toll call on id, One phoe says it is a bank offering free something. We cut them off with the we are on the DNC list etc.

January 25th, 2007Kent CO

Called at 9:16 noboby on the line. I assume they are hoping for a call back and then they can say that we have an established relationship and then they will continue calling with a myriad of offers.

I keep getting calls which hang up. Its on my cell phone which is registered w/the national do not call registry :(

January 25th, 2007Julia Egbert

You can be REMOVED from their call list by calling RDI Marketing Services (rdimarketing.com) directly at: 513.984.5927.
Their main number is: 800.388.7636

January 25th, 2007Lindsey Worth

I get their calls on my caller ID when i am work and they leave no message. I have talked to them before and it is a survey thing. i have said quite sternly told them to not call the number, that it is a private line, and i am on the do-not-call-list.
I called back the number right now and it just rang and rang.
Someone commented that it was silent for 30 seconds. HANG UP immediately. There is a scam where your line being used is going to your bill somehow. The FBI has a great site on their page www.fbi.gov which lists current internet crimes/scams. Useful info.

This phone number calls me many times every day and I plan on calling them back each time they call me. Actually talked to a person one time who said they were having trouble with their phone system.

January 23rd, 2007Daniel MO

whoever it is they call at least once a day. i have answered and nobody is on the other end, just silence. irritating. i called it back tonite and got a telephone company message, cant remember what it said. i will call them back every time they call from now on.

January 23rd, 2007Fiona Barrett WA

They keep calling and calling, but with caller ID I don't answer.
You'd think they'd give up, wouldn't you?
Thanks for having this site.

January 23rd, 2007Patrick CA

Very convenient website. Now you know exactly who the bad people are. They call me pretending they are a radio station and asked me if I was interested to double my paycheck. I say "no thank you and goodbye". Not with these jerks anyway.
Best move: filing immediately a complaint.www.donotcall.gov

January 23rd, 2007Dan

4 consecutive calls from these jokers (so far). I picked up each time and waited for a human. Their system hung up on me after 25 seconds each time.

January 22nd, 2007sheri OR

This number calls at least once every single day. If I answer, no one is there. If I do not answer, no message is left.

January 22nd, 2007Donna

Be careful. They tried to tell me they were my bank (which they named) and needed my information to send me a credit card. I told them that if indeed they were my bank, they'd have that information. She was rude and hung up on me.

January 20th, 2007Matthew IL

My experience is similar to many here. My caller ID says, "TOLL FREE NUMBER". When I answer, they hang up. When I call back, I get a message that says, "You have been contacted for marketing research, or a sales call."

What I'd like to know is if there is any way to block these calls, or find out who these jokers are. I have Call Block, but it doesn't work on numbers in areas that don't have that feature. [Just brilliant.]

I'm starting to wonder if all of us on this page should bombard that number with calls on Monday. haha!

Help! :)

January 19th, 2007John

They just called saying "How this is Steve from 106 FM radio" or something and saying "tell me your name and I'll enter you into a contest to win $1,000".

How stupid are they? So obviously fake and it should be illegal!

January 18th, 2007Janet

Just got a call from this number. She said she was calling from 97.3 KSON Radio and San Diego and was calling to give peopel a chance to double there paychecks. I looked up www.kson.com and they are having some sort of contest. Possibly they hired this telemarketing company to make phone calls for them.

January 18th, 2007Mike CO

My understanding is that this is a shady, at best, collection agency. Talk about unscrupulous. Scumbags!!!!!!!

January 17th, 2007Holley CO

They said they were from a radio station wanting to enter me in a drawing to receive $1000. I asked how do I confirm this. They said they were calling businesses to give money to employees. I asked how they got my number (my cell phone) and told them is was a private number. He said that he must have the wrong number.

January 17th, 2007Amanda IL

I called it back and it said you have been called for market research or a sales call

January 17th, 2007al NJ

I cannot understand how and why these calls are allowed. It's a pain to have to stop what you are doing and answer the phone just to be hung up on. You can not ignore the phone...what if you did and it turned out to be a friend/relative in need? Wish I could get my hands on the one responsible for it.

January 15th, 2007george IL

number shown up on caller id many, many times but no message, whe I pick up phone , no one answers very annoying!!! we are on state and national no call list also

This number is calling several times in a day for two weeks. I answered it twice now only to get dead air for about 30 seconds, then a click.

Freakin idiots keep calling my house. Never had any calls until about the last month or so and we're on the donotcall list. I have no idea but I'm reporting them anyways.

December 14th, 2006Concerned

This number called my house yesterday at 7 pm and when I answered it he asked for my mother. I had came to this website prior to this phonecall to find out who it was, so instead of giving the phone to her I asked who it was. He said his name was Ryan and he was with HBC Bank. I told him I knew they were trying to scam people out of their money and he needed to remove me from the call list. He acted awkward when I told him I knew they were scamming people. He told me it would take up to 30 days for my name to be removed.

December 7th, 2006Kim

I get 3-4 calls daily, at all hours of the day. When we pick it up, there is no one there. They have been calling for weeks. This is bordering on harassment

I get this call every single day. i finally called it back and it's a recording saying you have been contacted for marketing reasearch or a sales call.I am on the donotcall list and will be reporting these jerks. Been on the list for years and just recently began getting these calls.

December 6th, 2006Katie CA

They called me (3) times today. After the 2nd time, I looked up the number and found this website. The 3rd time they called and asked for my husband by his first name. I told him there was no one here by that name, and I asked why they were calling. "Steve" said he was calling on behalf of Discover Card. Then I said again there was no one here by my husband's name (Mike) and he hung up.

December 4th, 2006M Pinkard

I neglected to post the dates of the calls from this annoying place. They began 12/01/06 and call every day.

December 4th, 2006M Pinkard

The past 4 days someone calls from 800-295-7193. We too get the message when calling them that we have been contacted for market research or sales. Today a young man FINALLY responded when I said HELLO! the 3rd time and he asked for my husband. I said he was not available, may I ask who's calling? The guy hung up!

It is NOT a collection company as we are up on our accounts.

My suggestion to all of you is contact your State Consumer Affairs Department. The one here in Utah's 800# is. 1-800-721-7233. I consider these calls to be shear harrassment. We can't even have a peacefull weekend. Also, register your phones on the do not call registry: www.ftc.gov

Then...you can report them:)

December 4th, 2006Jason

If these people had the nerve to solicit door-to-door, I would thrwo my phone at them... just kidding, but I am really annoyed!

December 3rd, 2006Jen PA

I answered the phone and the man asked for me by my first name, asked me how old I was, and after I asked who he was he said " you sound like you're good looking" and hung up. What kind of weidos are call my home?

They called twice this morning. 12/02/2006 First time I didn't answer, second time they asked for me by first AND last name. I told them they had the wrong number. The guy stuttered around for a moment, then said ok and hung up. Hopefully they will take me off their list.

December 2nd, 2006Curmudgeon IL

We get several a week. They offer us credit cards or mortgages. I have asked several times for the calls to stop. Yes, I guess I am that naiive.

As I was reading all the comments about this annoying number, my phone rang with this number on my caller ID for the 6th time today. Decided to answer! A very nice woman was on the line and told me she was from Discover card and wanted to send me a packet about some offers from Discover. I told her I wasn't interested. She thanked me for listening and said to have a nice day. I was so surprised, I was ready to tell somebody off!

November 29th, 2006Donny

This number has called again tonight at 8:21pm

November 27th, 2006Greg PA

Likewise, I get 3-5 calls a day from this number. Caller ID shows it as "Unknown Name". It leaves no message, and on the rare occasion it's answered, there's dead space, a click, and a hangup. I would be curious to know who it is so that I can murder them personally.

November 22nd, 2006Angie

Well they called again at 8:59PM and lo and behold some one was on the other end, I told this young man about the calls and he directed my call to a supervisor and she said she would remove my number, this company represents many fly by night companies for sales call or a marketing research they give the name of the company they are representing, tonight they wanted me to take a survey I became irate I also told them each state has laws about the time they are allowed to call. I also told them I filed two complaints against this phone number. They are very young people with no knowledge of the laws. I guess I will wait and see what happens now. Good Luck to everyone this is a real problem. Hopefully the do not call list can help.

November 21st, 2006NC NC

Have received many calls from this number and another "Unknown Number" for the last two weeks every evening between 6 PM EDT and 8 PM EDT. Typically calls between 2 and 4 times each night. I had been receiving regular calls from this number several months ago and they suddenly stopped for a while. No one answers or leaves message. Line is open for 15 - 20 seconds before disconnect. Hum on line.

This number calls us repeatedly sometimes 5 or 6 times a day and says nothing when/if I answer, then hangs up. If I let the machine get it, they still say nothing. On 11/20/06 @ 6:53 p.m. the number called, a person asked for me by name and then hung up without saying anything further. Grrrrrr!!

This number comes up as unknown name and in the last 3 days I have had 8 to 12 calls each day! I ended up placing this number on my call blocker. I'm in the 65804 zipcode.
This has to be brought to the radio and television stations and make this public!

November 16th, 2006Joan

greetings from Plymouth, MA. 8:30 last evening I answered a call from this number. What sounded like an automated voice from outer space (no kidding here) kept repeating my first and last name (but saying Joanne rather than Joan) and asking if it was me! The voice was extremely eerie and frightening to me and I'm sure would have a really devastating effect on an elderly person. Local phone company and FCC unhelpful. As my number is registered on the don't call me list, a complaint has been filed. Surely something can be done...this call was truly over the top. These people are truly nuts.

November 16th, 2006Martha

Called, we did not pick up and they left no message. We don't pay for the name to show up on our caller ID so just the number showed up. I am pretty sure I have seen this number show up before. I'll keep a better watch on it from now on.

October 29th, 2006Beechnut FL

This number has called four times today (so far), and the interval between calls is getting shorter. The fourth call came 36 minutes after the third one. We let the first three calls go to voicemail. The caller left no message. The fourth time, I answered. For a second or so, I could hear the hum of a busy telemarketing center, then the line went dead. Very annoying. Zip 33710.

October 29th, 2006Beechnut FL

This number has called us three times (so far) this afternoon. Very annoying. Zip 33710.

October 29th, 2006Robin FL

Called this morning. Caller ID read "Out of area" with the 800 number. No one spoke when I answered, and when I called back, I got the "marketing research or sales call" message. Annoying...Add to that the fact that I'm on the national "Do Not Call" registry...AND the fact that we have had a recent death in the family...Whatever they're selling, if this is how they do business, I will NEVER knowingly buy their product.

These fools started their carpet bombing 24 Oct. On 25 Oct. I logged seven calls, from 10:00 through 18:25. In late afternoon ("dinner hour") they came less than half an hour apart. Certainly looks like the pattern of a trashy junk debtor, but political polling is just as likely as November looms. No one here has picked up, so I cannot add to the ID evidence.

October 25th, 2006Dirk CO

Asked for Dirk. When I asked who was calling they hung up.

October 25th, 2006Angsty Jim CO

They called several times and hung up. I finally got them to answer by shouting hello many times loudly. Told them to put this number on your do not call list. The guy said okay. Then I filed a violation report about them with the do-not-call registry for good measure.

October 25th, 2006Amanda CO

25 Oct 06/19:44 - Toll Free
Silence for about 10 seconds then hangs up. Whne you call the number back Says "You have been contacted for marketing research or a sales call". Tempted to just keep redialing the number to run up their bill.

October 25th, 2006Tom RI

Received 4 calls at home between 4 and 5:30 PM tonight as well as 4 Calls on a cell phone from the same number during the same time period...no messages left, only dial tone!

1800-295-7193 has called my phone ten times today most of the time it hangs up but a few time it's done the same thing as it does to lois 30 seconds how can we stop this

October 24th, 2006Jeff PA

i get numerous calls from this number almost everyday usually several in a row, then a few hours later several in a row. Calls are now blocked.

October 24th, 2006Mia RI

This number has called twice today. When I picked it up, no one speaks and hangs up.

October 23rd, 2006Steve M WI

This number has called a number of times. No one speaks and then clicks off.

October 23rd, 2006John Q. Public

I received 5 calls this evening from this number. All open line w/ no one speaking. Says "Toll Free Call" on caller id

October 23rd, 2006Unbelievable

Every month this company calls in clusters. 8 at nught 9 at night 5 to 6 times a day for 2 or 3 days straight. I register complaints here and it does no good.

October 23rd, 2006Brian OK

I get so many of these calls. I use Sunrocket like some others here, I can block their number, go online, and see who called. This number tries to call my phone 6 times a minute, then gives up for 20 minutes, and tries another 6 times. Goes on all day. Hundreds of attempts. Reported to Do Not Call list, hopefully something happens. I used to answer it, but as most have reported, nothing but dead air.

October 21st, 2006Dan DE

Just open line for about 30 sec then hung up

October 20th, 2006Mary PA

Just received a call from this number (Friday, 10/20/06). Caller ID says "Unavailable". Enough of these damn political calls! I answered, and then it hung up after about 10 seconds.

October 20th, 2006sick of calls

Talked to someone at the FTC about this number yesterday and they were very interested in finding out who is behind the calls. The gentleman said to keep placing complaints on the NDNCR because the number of complaints for the phone number trigers an investigation.

October 20th, 2006lLinda

They seem to call every day. I have Caller ID and don't answer.

October 19th, 2006Kristine

Someone from this number called me tonight. They asked for me and I said, "This is her." Then they hung up. I did a search on the internet and apparently the company name is RDI Marketing Services and they are doing campaigning for the Republican Party. I reported this to the National Do-Not-Call list as well. This was the first time I have been called by this number.

October 19th, 2006Brandi

I live in Atlanta and these people call me at least 5 times per day. I have answered and received silence. They don't leave a message on the machine. Also, I just answered a moment ago and they claimed to be calling from some sort of "Georgia Teacher/Children's Foundation" but I just told them to remove me and that I was reporting them to the Do Not Call list, which I am going to do right now. I am also trying to blcok them, but my phone (using *60) won't let me. :(

October 19th, 2006Dave NM

I have Sunrocket and selectively blocked that caller id. I recevied 8 calls in two days, I also got the 'Poll' asking question.

October 19th, 2006Sick of calls

If you live in the Seattle area call the media. I have posted a message with KOMO TV to have their consumer person check it out. I am also filing a complaint with the Do Not Call Registry each and every time they call. Lets hope for LARGE fines against these guys.

October 18th, 2006Mama Bear WA

I received a call earlier in the evening from RSRCH DATA DSGN 970-223-0237 (per my caller ID) and politely refused to take a survey. When she got pushy I just hung up. Ever since, I've received several calls from this 800-295-7193. Someone is waiting for me to answer and then hangs up the phone. I've reported both numbers to the ftc/donotcall. I think the two numbers are related.

October 18th, 2006Joni WA

This number calls every day, 4-6 times a day at ALL hours. I work from home and have a separate business line but when my home number rings in the middle of the day, I think it's a call from a family member, possible emergency. I'm so sick of leaving my office to check and see who calls!! I've picked up a couple times, dead air. I usually yell, "Don't call again" ...obviously this isn't working. I'm pretty sure it is the f'in Republican Party taking some poll.

October 18th, 2006Colin WA

I've received three calls from this number so far, so I finally decided to answer. It was a poll call asking if I would be voting for "Referendum I" in Colorado. I talked to "Myra" who didn't give a name for the company she was working for.

October 18th, 2006Karah SC

Glad I found this website...these phone calls are PISSING ME OFF! I have four children including a 2-month-old baby, and a home day care, and these calls coming during naptime every day are driving me up a wall. It's dead silence every time-and I just let the machine get the last call but it just clicked off when my machine beeped. I think I will email the Colorado attorneys general office as well as reporting this to the do not call list, as I've been on the list for quite some time now.

October 18th, 2006sue ann wells WA

me too. reported it to NDNCR.

October 18th, 2006Norma WA

I have received many calls from them in the past, but they have stepped it up today - 4 calls in 2.5 hours! Silence each time. I've had it! I have reported each instance to the National Do Not Call Registry.

October 18th, 2006Aaron WA

Two Calls this A.M. One at 7:30 am, the other at 9:30 am. Didn't answer either, and no messages left.

October 18th, 2006Tom

Two calls, one after the other, with silence.

October 18th, 2006Annoyed OH

1-800-295-7193 called fourteen times yesterday. I didn't pick up the phone once, and yet they kept calling. They never left a message and they'd only let it ring two or three times before hanging up. Ten minutes later, they'd call again.

800-295-7193
800-555-0433

all in 3 minutes, no messages left. they have been calling each night, fairly randomly. Isn't there a law against this? I'm tired of it. Please fix this at once!

October 17th, 2006Dan CO

Calls every day. Usually clicks and hangs up. A real pain because they call on my work line.

October 17th, 2006R WA

Called October 17th, as well as in past few days. Out of Area shown on Caller ID. Hangs up after several rings. Silence if picked up.

October 16th, 2006eric NM

hah, jackasses just called back. answered the phone and waited... eventually some gal comes on and starts some speil about "if the election was held tomorrow, blah, blah". i cut her off and told her "that's not what i've heard on-line". end of conversation. i love this website.

October 16th, 2006eric NM

these maggots have been calling me several times a day for over a month now. same story every time; pick up and there's nothing, let the answering machine pick up and there's background noise. the junk debt collection makes sense in my case, they are probably trying to get a hold of my cheating whore of an ex wife, who i know is a deadbeat on at least one account. annoying as hell, as i booted her almost a year ago. gotta add, this site is way cool, glad i ran across it.

October 15th, 2006Kerry Lewis NM

15 Oct 06. Caller ID said "TOLL FREE"...called the number to ask to be removed from their list..got only a machine. I have been on the FCC do not call list for about 4 weeks. Marketing was for 'grease bullet'.

October 14th, 2006Nicole

I finally joined the 21st century and got caller ID. And whoever it is that is calling has easily called 10 times this past week. I haven't answered, haven't called it back...but it's annoying. It's also annoying when the a-holes call at 9 p.m. on a Sunday night!

October 13th, 2006david

They called again today (10-13-2006) and a guy with an Indian accent wanted to ask a few questions from the Democratic Party. I said no thanks, can you put us on your do not call list, and he said yes, thank you.

October 13th, 2006david

answered on 2nd ring, it had already hung up

October 12th, 2006jeff

this phone number has called me 7 times today. SEVEN!@$#^%$#%
the caller ID says "800 services"
i'm PISSED. it's 8:50pm and they just called AGAIN

October 12th, 2006Phil

For those who just want to get rid of the call, check to see if you have call blocking to block calls from a spcific phone number. I just found that it was bundled in my service for free. However, I'm not giving up on tracking down this scum.

October 12th, 2006Phil

This is a great site to find U.S. citizens that are being abused by unscrupulous scum. As a hobby and to help make America just a bit nicer, I am starting to get back at this kind of low-life. I just chalked up my second win, this time from the notorious health club billing leeches. I am going to start digging, and looking forward to others who might find some nuggets of info about these phone muggers.

October 11th, 2006Mike P UT

Many calls on 10/10 and 10/11 - never leaves a message.

October 11th, 2006SMR

dead silence on the other end.
They just found out how loud I can wistle.

October 11th, 2006Matt

I've reported this number to the DNCR. So far it's been silence when I've actually listened. I like to provide a little listening enjoyment for callers like this that I do not recognize. Slayer's 'Angel Of Death' at max volume is always a great way to say "I love you" to these tools.

October 11th, 2006P. Gower NC

No message left....saw number on caller id

October 11th, 2006joel NV

This number has called me several times this week. When I answered there was silence. Finally they answered today. The guy on the line said "Okay, I'm calling to show you how you can win $150..." I said "No thanks" and hung up.

October 11th, 2006Barbara

This number has called four times in a day and past 9:00 p.m. They never leave a message and at times never say a word if I do pick up. One time they asked the question "If today were election day would you go and vote". Another time they said "we are from a survey company" I am tired of them calling.Dates they called 09/27/2006 thru 10/11/2006

October 11th, 2006PM IL

It is the most annoying thing I have ever had to deal with. They've been calling for a week and have not stopped. I had to switch to vibrator all the time.

October 10th, 2006TD CA

One of several numbers I have been receiving calls from. They include 800-593-6396, 800-593-6403, 800-593-6392, 800-295-7193, 800-593-5796, 800-679-0847, 800-593-5849, 800-863-0358

October 6th, 2006CW

Asking to verify e-mail for WLS Radio contest. Just as they were hanging up I heard babies talking. Appears now to be a marketing ploy to get e-mails and such.

October 5th, 2006telco employee IL

everyday, So I am looking in to stopping it.

October 4th, 2006Norton NJ

I have been getting repeated calls from this number. if I answer, line goes dead after about 30 seconds. If i do not answer, I get a recording in my service voicemail from people running for office or bashing another candidate.

October 4th, 2006Kim CA

I get this number calling a lot. This time I answered after reading this site and they said they were calling from my store Credit card (Mervyns, GE financial, however mervyns is Retailers financial. Is that the same?) and wanted to mail me info on dept consolidation. They tried to confirm my address, but I said no thanks and hung up.

October 4th, 2006Jim FL

I've received at least 15 calls from this number and no messages. I call the number back and a recorded message says "you have been contacted for marketing research or a sales call". I have filed comaplants with National Do Not Call each time.

October 3rd, 2006Dennis

This numbers calls my house two or three times a day,hangs up if I answer and does not leave a message if I let it roll to voice mail. This has been going on for weeks.

October 3rd, 2006Susan

Same as Lois.

October 3rd, 2006PLEASE READ MO

800-295-7193 is most likely RJM Acquisitions, a shady junk debt collection agency taking over from repeated junk collection sellers, who tries to collect debt on accounts already written off by Visa, etc years ago. They purchase your account for pennies on the dollar and then jack up your actual debt owed to what they want. This IS ILLEGAL. the statue of limitations is usually 10 years or less according to each state. Once you make contact with them they can put this account back onto your credit for the next seven years. So screen the call, don't leave a voice mail identifying your last name, don't pick it up and by no means send them money. These are scum of the earth people. They are trying to trick the callers by saying they won something and send such and such amount in oder to claim the prize. Then they tell you you paid off the debt. Search the net-pretty sure this is who they are.

October 3rd, 2006Trish

I didn't answer and they didn't leave a message.

October 2nd, 2006JimB.

They've called ~10 times in the last week, always hanging up after you answer, today, I answered with vulgarities and told them to quit calling, they said I'm rude and will NOT take me off this list.This is a violation of the no-call list. Research or not, you don't get any data when you hang up.(unless you just make up what you want people to think anyway) So why bother pissing people off?

October 2nd, 2006JJJ

I called it back and it told me "You have been contacted for a marketing research or a sales call" repeats twice; hangs up

October 2nd, 2006Curtis IL

Every other call I get is from this number. I've never actually talked to a live human being. It hangs up after 2 or 3 seconds.

September 27th, 2006JON

September 27th, 2006Kent NC

called a couple of times, didn't answer it. My guess is that this company is using an autodialer, which is illegal in my state, NC.

This number called me seven times so far today (on my cell). It also called my husband's cell twice last night.

September 26th, 2006evilseek.com NY

Same Tom as above. Their first call was the only time I actually talked to someone. Report this to your state's attorney.

September 25th, 2006Tom

Called Sunday 16 times in one hour. Called 8 times in one hour on Monday. Said it was a health survey. I said I didn't want any and hung up. Must have pissed them off. I just check caller ID every couple hours if working outside instead of running in to answer.

September 23rd, 2006Anita

This 800 toll free number has harassed me for three months and today they have made 25 calls in 10 hours and I expect more before the day is through,as is usual for them. I am glad for my Caller ID system.

September 23rd, 2006Steve MT

September 23rd, 2006Steve

They called numerous times over past several weeks. I fnally answered and they asked about voting for local politicians. I told them I didn't want to say and the fellow became very hostile. Let's swamp their phone lines!!!

September 22nd, 2006Greg VA

This number called today at 2:42PM. It has called countless times in the recent past. All my Caller ID says is "- TOLL FREE -", "800-295-7193".

I complained about this call at the FTC National Do Not Call Registry website at www.ftc.gov I suggest that everyone already registered with the FTC Do Not Call list should also complain.

September 22nd, 2006Sam WA

I use Sun Rocket VOIP. I can block their calls and see how many times they call. I agree with Bob call them back and swamp their lines Lets Do It !!!!!

I have gotten about 20 calls from this number. Lets give it to them. Block your number and call them about 60 times...They have to pay the bill. If everyone does they might get the message!!!!!

September 22nd, 2006Ronin WA

September 21st, 2006Steve WA

Immediate hangup 9/21/06 at about 3:40 PM pacific

September 21st, 2006Brian IA

I could not understand the person on the other end, but I did catch the name of a few politicians and I think he asked who I would vote for. I told him that I didn't want to talk to them. He immediately hung up on me before I could say anything else.

September 21st, 2006Dan IA

September 20th, 2006Doug W OR

They've called me 3 times today - the first two were hangups/empty phone lines. I called them back and heard a recording: "You have been called for a research or sales call", then it hangs up. This last time I got some guy who called saying that he was going to "Double my chances to win" and asked me for my name. Having already read this site's info, I told them that I was on to them, but by the time I'd finished my sentance he'd hung up on me. I am on the do-not-call list and have been for years. Soooo.. how do we find out who this number is connected to and report it to the appropriate authorities???

September 20th, 2006Doug W OR

Called, no communication, no noises ... hung up on them. 8:45 AM

September 19th, 2006LBR WA

September 19th, 2006Bridgette

I have looked this number up in Google as well, there was a site that had another report of a woman who answered and a man reading a script stated "we have been looking on the internet, and came across you website. It appears that you are a supporter of terrorism and we are going to report you."

September 15th, 2006Brandon

Caller said he was from star 101.5 (seattle radio station) and he was going to tell me how to win $1000 over the weekend by listening, just needed my name first.

September 14th, 2006Patrick NE

Asked for my wife, said they were "G. G. Money Bank," or something. I asked if they were selling something and they hung up. Weird.

September 14th, 2006George

Answered phone but no one there. Likely a computer dialer that waits till it verifies someone answered then passes you of to a human. Guess the software didn't work and it hung up right away.

September 13th, 2006Linette NY

My home phone was forwarded to my cell phone at the time. No company or name was listed in the caller ID on my cell. Only the phone number displayed. I will monitor if this number continues to call me and report back.
